The Story of My Experiments with Truth casts Gandhi's life as disciplined trials—in law, diet, sexuality, faith, and politics—by which he tests satyagraha and ahimsa. First serialized in Gujarati and rendered in unadorned English, it blends confessional candor with didactic clarity. From Porbandar and London to South Africa and India, spare, self-scrutinizing prose links political action to spiritual practice. Trained as a barrister at the Inner Temple, Mohandas K. Gandhi was shaped by ear...

In The Origin of Paul's Religion, John Gresham Machen investigates whether Paul's gospel arose from Hellenistic mystery cults or from the historical matrix of Second Temple Judaism and the earliest Christian witness. Engaging the History-of-Religions School, he argues that Paul's Christology, soteriology, and proclamation of the risen Lord cohere with Jesus and the apostles. Through close exegesis, cautious historical comparison, and lucid polemic, he dismantles superficial parallels and c...

In The Provincial Lady Goes Further (Illustrated), Delafield extends her diarist's wry chronicle as domestic satire meets metropolitan ambition. In crisp dated entries, rich in parenthetical asides and comic understatement, the newly successful Provincial Lady shuttles between Devon household and London flat, juggling school fees, servants, committees, publishers' lunches, and the etiquette of hats and credit. Set squarely in the interwar middle class, the book weds social observation to b...

Loss and Gain (1848) follows Charles Reding, an Oxford undergraduate, through a scrupulous testing of Evangelical zeal, liberal latitudinarianism, and rational skepticism before his conversion to Roman Catholicism. A campus novel of ideas, it uses Socratic dialogue, satiric portraits of dons, and catechetical exposition to stage the controversies stirred by the Oxford Movement after Tract 90, balancing irony with pastoral gravity while probing private judgment, history, and ecclesial autho...

Hegel's Science of Logic reconstructs metaphysics as the immanent self-development of pure thought. Structured as the Doctrines of Being, Essence, and Concept, it tracks the dialectic from being–nothing–becoming through quality, quantity, measure, and reflection to concept, judgment, syllogism, objectivity, and teleology. Written in a lapidary, architectonic prose that advances by negation and sublation, it situates itself within post-Kantian German Idealism, contesting merely formal logic...

The Diary of a Provincial Lady (Illustrated) is a laconic, razor-sharp chronicle of interwar domesticity, told in brisk entries that turn bills, bulbs, fêtes, and intrusive neighbors into comedy. The diarist—a cash‑strapped, culturally alert wife in rural Devon—navigates servants, school fees, and London temptations with self‑deprecating poise. Delafield's clipped parentheticals and ellipses place the book within the middlebrow modern, while period illustrations punctuate and intensify its...

Set around a deserted inn where a clandestine wedding ended in catastrophe, The Forsaken Inn unseals the past: a hidden chamber, a buried body, and records that contradict living testimony. Green fuses Gothic atmospherics—locked rooms, nocturnal corridors—with casebook logic, arranging letters and reminiscences into moral geometry. At the crossroads of American Gothic and emergent detective fiction, the novel probes marriage, property, and identity, showing how legal shadows nourish privat...

Presented as a year-long diary of an upper-middle-class wife in rural Devon, The Diary of a Provincial Lady tracks overdrafts, bulbs, servants, school fees, London excursions, and the routines of interwar domestic life. Delafield's clipped, deadpan entries—elliptical and italic-prone—turn small embarrassments into comedy and critique. Set amid postwar modernity and brittle class rituals, this unabridged edition restores the cadence and includes Arthur Watts's original illustrations, sharpe...

In The Great Gatsby (Unabridged), F. Scott Fitzgerald filters the rise and unraveling of Jay Gatsby through Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner adrift among East and West Egg's brittle splendors. Set in the summer of 1922, the novel deploys a modernist economy of scene and symbol—the green light, the valley of ashes, the watchful billboard—within lyrical prose that shifts from satire to elegy. Its taut design and ironic focalization expose class performance, obsessive desire, and the American Dr...
